Today, I went to family therapy because my mom wanted the family to be closer. When asked what her biggest disappointment was in life, she turned to me and said, "Having a gay son" then patted my hand, smiled, and said "No offense, honey." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." FML
Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML
Today, my brother came out to our family as being gay. My mother starting crying because she "wanted grandchildren." I told her that I was planning on having children. She started crying harder. FML
Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to tell my mom that I'm gay. She sympathetically patted my back and told me I don't need to make up excuses for me being so unattractive to women. FML
Today, I came out to my mom. I had an epic speech planned, and when I tried to tell her, it all fell apart and I started crying and just said, "I'm gay." After a few seconds silence, my mom sighs and says, "Duh." FML
Today, my mom found out I’m in therapy and took it as an insult, like therapy was a criticism of her parenting. Um, maybe if she hadn’t spent my childhood telling me and everyone in our family that having me was an accident, that I’ve been a huge burden, and that she should have aborted me. FML
Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML

What the hell is so wrong about being gay?! Hell, homosexuals ain't hurting anyone. I see more straight folks running around raping everything that moves! I have never heard of a gay rapist (not that there aren't any). I find it sad and pitiful that so many people's only objection to homosexuality is the physical sex act. They forget all about the fact that they are humans, that they have the ability to love like a heterosexual, that they want to share the love act with their partner. Love is so much more than just physical acts.

And that's why my mom isn't a major part of my life anymore. She didn't teach me about sexuality, she doesn't get a say in mine.

Shut it, dipshite. By "sounds like my mother" means that he had similar experiences with her around him being gay. Shut it, ******.

Says the person who probably lives under your mother's care. Don't talk trash about your parents. -_-

Her disappointments are hers, she wanted something and didn't get it. You don't have to take on any shame here. She didn't say she was disappointed in you.

I'm sorry your mom reacted that way. I think after that comment there would be no resurrecting our relationship and I would have got up and left the counseling session. I am not one to put myself in situations where I'm not welcome.

^ The shame is their mentality, not your homosexuality, and if they have issue with it, the problem is their own as you have nothing to apologize for. :) Chin up! Cheers.

Wow. What a horrible person. I hope she's very unhappy and stays that way.
